Blistering in the paint layer

No. There is moisture or a disturbed substrate under the blisters; that must be resolved first, otherwise the problem will return.

Yes, especially on sun-facing sides and on woodwork painted with a non-vapor-permeable paint over a still-damp substrate.

Small, surface-level cases can sometimes be touched up yourself, but if you're unsure we'd advise against it. We remove the affected paint completely, let the substrate dry properly and repair any wood damage before building the system back up. Repairs done incorrectly often end up costing more in the long run than calling a professional painter straight away.

That depends a lot on the extent and accessibility of the spot. For a limited, localised case the work is often done within a day or a few days; larger areas take longer. During the free assessment we give a concrete estimate for your situation.

That varies by situation — the extent, the accessibility and whether painting is also needed all play a role. We give a clear quote after a free, no-obligation assessment, so you know exactly where you stand beforehand.

Burst blisters leave the substrate unprotected The longer you wait, the bigger the eventual repair — and the cost that comes with it — tends to be.

We prefer to carry out exterior work in dry weather at a moderate temperature, usually from spring to autumn. Repairing acute damage — such as cutting out rotten wood — can however often be done year-round, so the problem doesn't get worse while you wait for better weather.

We address not just the visible symptom but also the underlying cause — the most common causes are moisture in the wood that cannot escape because of a non-vapor-permeable paint layer, painting onto a damp substrate, or painting in full sun, which causes solvents to evaporate too quickly. Periodic maintenance also helps: touching up small damage in time prevents a small problem growing back into a bigger repair.

We work with professional materials and paint systems matched to the surface and the load it faces — not standard DIY-store paint. Where needed we combine that with specialised wood repair systems or primers matched to the specific cause.

We always discuss guarantee terms upfront and set them out clearly in the quote, so you know exactly what to expect before we start.

Yes, we combine this regularly. If we're already on site for exterior painting, it's often more efficient to include this in the same schedule rather than planning it separately.

This comes up more often on older properties, simply because the woodwork and facades have been exposed to the weather for longer and often already carry several layers of paint. On listed-building details we work with extra care to preserve the original profiling and appearance.

Bumps or blisters under an otherwise intact paint layer

In most cases a thorough visual inspection by a professional painter is enough to determine the extent. If there's doubt about the underlying structure, we look a little deeper, for example by gently testing whether the wood can still bear weight.

Yes. We fix blistering in the paint layer for private homes, VvE's and real estate such as commercial buildings and apartment blocks. The approach is similar, though larger properties are often planned in phases.

Visible damage to window frames, facades or woodwork can create a negative impression during a sale or valuation and raise questions about deferred maintenance. Addressing it in time avoids that discussion and keeps the property looking well cared for.

No, that's not necessary. Just make sure the spot is reasonably accessible; we handle everything else, from inspection to execution.

If the situation calls for it, we arrange that through GoedkoopSteigerHuren.nl, part of the same organisation as Painting Company. We combine that into a single request, which saves coordination steps.

We respond to requests quickly and schedule the assessment as soon as possible in consultation with you. Request a free, no-obligation quote and we'll get in touch.

For limited, superficial blistering on an otherwise sound substrate, local repair and repainting is enough. If the substrate feels damp or the wood underneath is affected, drying and repair is needed first before repainting.
